I would fold because I believe you are playing ATo only on the straight or 2 pair draw.
What happens when someone else just calls your raise on AJ or AQ and then the A hits, you bet it and get raised? If you are now going to throw it away believing someone has a better kicker why play it in the first place?
10 handed I would raise with AT near the button primarily as a blind steal, first few positions it will be folded along with AJo, although I will sometimes play AJs at a passive table (if I feel it is unlikely I will be raised).
Doyle Brunson says AQo is his biggest losing hand due to catching A and being outkicked. Now imagine how often AT is going to be outkicked.

As soon as I read the PF holding and saw 2 EP limpers I said FOLD. I cracked up reading Beave et al responses because they are dead on the mark.
I will not go into details on why you can't play this hand. No time.
What i will do is tell you the obvious.
If you dont know why you need to fold here then you desperately need to read Harrington on Hold Em Vol I.
Save the money you are destined to lose at the table and drop $29 bucks on the book.
Side Note: Laptop shipped today......Wireless card is on the way. I am foaming at the mouth thinking about 1 1/2 hrs each way on the train with poker back in my life.
Anyone know if I will be able to dig up a ring game @ 6AM Eastern time? Where is it nightime? Will I be playing against a bunch of drunk aussies?
